On July 14, VietnamWorks.com released a report with the demand index up by 28 percent over the first quarter and the supply index, up by 27 percent.

The report also said that the demand index has seen a year-on-year increase of 40 percent.

The General Director of VietnamWorks.com, Chris Harvey, said that the 40 percent growth rate means the economy is developing faster and enterprises are more self-confident about recruiting workers to expand their business.

In the second quarter of the year, civil construction, accountancy/auditing, banking, electrical/electronics and engineering had the highest demands for personnel. This was the first time, engineering has made it into the top five leading sectors, replacing aviation/tourism/hotels.

In the reviewed period, Hanoi continued to have the heaviest demands, 10 percent higher than that of Ho Chi Minh City./.
